Abstract
A method and a device for determining a location of an optical splitter are provided. With the method, optical network units in a PON network are classified into K clusters based on locations of the optical network units with a K-means clustering-based algorithm. Distances between multiple optical network units in the same cluster are small. If it is determined that the number of the optical network units in each of the clusters does not exceed a threshold, a central office is added into the K clusters to obtain K new clusters; and for each of the new clusters, a location of an optical splitter corresponding to the new cluster is determined, so as to ensure that a sum of distances between the location of the optical splitter and locations of all elements in the new cluster is minimized.
